Volodymyr Zelensky Explains Real Reason Why He Cracked at Trump

Prez Z is top notch.

In this Fox interview, he says some things about Chump, P****, and the peace process (such as it is) that are worth a read.

Robert Reich: "Americans are waking up. A grand reckoning awaits us"

“…over the last 40 years, starting with Ronald Reagan, the US went off the rails: deregulation, privatization, free trade, wild gambling by Wall Street, union-busting, monopolization, record levels of inequality, stagnant wages for most, staggering wealth for a few, big money taking over our politics.”

The election of Ronnie Raygun is one of the worst things to ever happen to our country.

Why Was The Director Of MIT's Fusion Center Shot To Death?

From Crooks and Liars;

“…Loureiro is known for his research on how plasma works, "particularly turbulence and the physics underpinning solar flares & other astronomical phenomena." He was studying how to harness clean "fusion power" to combat climate change."

“Considering the potential for fusion energy, was that a factor in his murder?”

Inspecting rumor Trump officials are moving to military bases for security reasons

From Snopes:

https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/11/03/trump-officials-military-bases/?utm_source=mail.snopes.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=trump-s-great-gatsby-party-cost-military-bases-rumor-steven-tyler&_bhlid=2e4ad4020ca39ca7201246126b5670a96c090eec

Not entirely unusual to have some government officials move into military housing.

But the large number of high cabinet positions is out of the ordinary.

Gabbard has applied for one, but SOL at the moment due to a lack of availability.

Chump admin maybe getting some jitters?

Jeffries scowling at Tapper, I dig it

Hakeem looks more than annoyed with Tapper. I’ll bet that’s easy to do 🙄

It’s a good clip, glad to see Jeffries getting more aggressive and assertive.

And if there was ever a smug face that needed a grapefruit pushed into it, it’s Tapper’s.

I can’t stand that guy.

What if the government never reopens?

Our militaries last paycheck was paid by a private anonymous donor.

Federal bureaucracies will further starved until they collapse and can only be ”rescued” by the private sector.

No more congressional hearings.

Invasion of South American countries for their rare earth minerals and oil is here.

Court orders are continuing to be ignored and there’s no mechanism for enforcement.

ICE is not only armed with weapons, but now many of them are armed with cameras. I’ve seen them walk straight up to a vehicle, snap a picture of let’s say, a local city council member then leave as if that was their assigned task.

The East Wing is bring demolished to make way for a grand ballroom, according to Thomas Hartmann at least, patterned after one in St. Petersburg.

What a hot constitutional mess it all is.

"Kerosene" Big Black Albini

Intense, intense song.

Albini is a controversial figure. But in my opinion, he was a very gifted musician and engineer.

This is best cranked up or with headphones.
